something about food having feeling.
the first time this circle of seasons out on the table in the SUN. She went through the old cowboy's drawers and brought out all she needed…paper, her watercolors, mark making tools and got to it. Over the course of the day she made 4 paintings. This is my only one, 2 graphite and the Inktense pencils. She does do illustrative work but her love is abstract and so it was yesterday. Sitting next to her was an inspiration. i loosened up some to get this far. more is needed. We talked a lot and ate and played with Minnow and …..did art. Watched 5 butterflies, the first of the season, and a tiny caterpillar. Checked in on live streams of the country's Hands Off. and at this table, in this place, for the first time in a long while, all was well.

having no direction.
Am going to let it go until this rain season passes. until available light is available. till there are seeds to plant. These things are sure. I can ground my heart in them, ask them to keep me in a land of hope. Then find a way to create what hope might look like.
I need drawing or cloth. or both But i've come to accept that i need something with my hands. can be simple, like this tadpole.
